PARLO ITALIANO

Website of the Italian Class @ Fort Foote ES - SY 22/23

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome back to you all for school year 2022/2023. I am really grateful for this return to school in person for all of our students, because I believe it will make a difference in each child's learning.
In this website you will find resources, information, and updates about the Italian class at our school. You will also find facts and curiosities about the Italian language and culture.

I hope the resources in this website will be useful for you and your child, and I look forward to continue working with your child in this exciting learning adventure!

Mrs. Saccani
